Clinical, Radiological, and Genetic Characterization of a Patient with a Novel Homoallelic Loss-of-Function Variant in .

Heterozygous pathogenic variants in are linked to an autosomal dominant form of epileptic encephalopathy. Recently, homozygous loss-of-function variants in were reported to cause an autosomal recessive form of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy in unrelated patients. Here, we investigated a singleton from a first-degree cousin marriage who presented with facial dysmorphism, global developmental delay, seizure disorder, and nystagmus.
